Post Your Stupid Coronavirus Takes Here

How do you know what you saw wasn't manufactured? It fit your agenda, so, cnn says it's so and people run with it. Maybe it was, maybe not. Maybe it was a mistake? Hell I don't care but what I do know is my state is getting better and we're firing away. Maybe us dumb red necks will be ok?

Keep wearing your mask though.

What do you care about more--sports and life returning to normal or following what appears to be a weird far-right 'tough guy' obsession about not wearing a mask in public? If you really want fall/winter sports and life returning to normal, wearing a mask in public is a cheap and effective way to help the cause.

The notion that numbers are universally going down rapidly is just not true. Collectively, the US cases have certainly declined recently (Social distancing works) but the decline is starting to plateau. And there are hotspots of resurgence—including the Alabama.

"What was stated originally" was, essentially, Trump tweeted that Fox wasn't helping Republicans; therefore, that proves that Fox never was a legitimate news outlet. Even if you read into Trump's tweet an implication, "what was stated originally" was, essentially, Trump expected Fox to help Republicans; therefore, Fox never was a legitimate news outlet. PSU has since modified that to limit Fox's illegitimacy to more recent times. So, with this modification, "what was stated originally" was, essentially, Trump expects Fox to help Republicans; therefore, Fox is not a legitimate news outlet. The fact that Trump expects Fox to act a certain way provides no support whatever for the assertion that it, in fact, acts that way. Similarly, if, say, Nancy Pelosi said she expects MSNBC to support Democrats, that statement would not provide support for an assertion that MSNBC views its role as to support Democrats. I'm not arguing the legitimacy or illegitimacy of either Fox or MSNBC; I'm merely asserting that the statement that was put forth as proof for the stated conclusion did not logically prove that conclusion. Therefore, the assertion was a leap in logic.

For you and Dawgs, if it's on cable, it isn't regulated and doesn't have to be anything that resembles the truth. That's why CNN and Fox and MSNBC can exist and do what they do, lie, manipulate, distort.

"The FCC regulates broadcast networks, since the airwaves are free and public. But cable channels, which rely on subscribers, viewers and advertisers, are beyond government control. Since cable runs through private providers, the FCC plays no role in issuing or revoking licenses, and it has no say on what the channels can air.
“The hook for (broadcast) content regulation … is the fact that broadcasters have government-issued licenses that allow them to use the airwaves, and that it’s freely available to anyone with a receiver,” said John Bergmayer, senior counsel at Public Knowledge, an intellectual property group based in Washington, D.C.
“This doesn’t apply to cable networks.”

The FCC does have regulations regarding the distribution of false information, but again, this only applies to over-the-air programs on networks such as ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox Broadcasting (but not the Fox News Channel). Furthermore, the offense would have to be pretty egregious and well-documented in order for the FCC to step in."

Not sure what point you were making with the photo you posted, but you know it was taken at an event called Black Voices for Trump—attended by both blacks and whites? Kinda like how men support women at breast cancer walks, or straights support gays at Gay Pride events?

It's called hyperbole girls. Your panties are showing. Leftists making those kind of comments only reflect on how much they what Trump out. So what. You know, like "I could shoot and kill someone on 5th Avenue and I would still keep my supporters" type statement....except these are coming from the left. Suck it up. If you want to talk spoken words, we've got over 17,000 Trump lies we could start with. And he's the leader of the free world!

It really wouldn't be much of a Blacks for Trump Rally if whites didn't attend. Bet the whites outnumbered the whites. What a joke. "Watch what they do, not what they say." If Trumpers want the black vote so much, how come they are so afraid to let the "entire" country vote? Watch what they do. This whole voter fraud thing running from Trump's mouth these days is totally unfounded and is just another "shiny object" for Fox viewers and the mindless sycophants to use as some justification to take away the sacred right to vote from certain Americans.

At every level, from the stacked Supreme Court to local county election officials, they will attempt to suppress the franchise to vote at every opportunity, ironically, in mostly black and brown (and white Democrat) neighborhoods. Highly restrictive voter ID laws, roll purging, poll closings, misinformation on social media, gutting the Voting Rights Act (according to Alito, "because there isn't voter suppression in the South any longer...." Duh) and on and on. Why? There is no fraud. None. So now, what's the issue with voting by mail by EVERYONE, especially with a pandemic? It's not just Trump threatening to withhold funds from Michigan, it's also McConnell and the rest of the Republicans throughout the country who fear too many people might vote, especially in red states. Got to hold on to the power at all costs. There are on-record comments by numerous Republican leaders supporting voter restrictions. Maybe instead of fearing too many people will vote they should propose policies that reflect majority opinions. Clearly, those t-shirts should read, "Blacks Able-to-Clear-All-the-Hurdles-to-Voting-We-Created-For-Them For Trump" Definitely, watch what they do, not what they say.
